Absolutely worst customer service I’ve received from any company. I moved into my apartment two months ago (they are only wired to this company so I have no choice but to be with them). The day after we moved in someone came out and installed our wifi and cable. The cable doesn’t work. I’ve been trying for two months to get a response or someone to come out and help. I have been working directly with Danielle (kinda as she doesn’t ever respond to my phone calls or emails). She told me last week someone would be coming out to troubleshoot our cable. Nothing. Nobody came. She has yet to reach out since then. I have tried emailing multiple times. I have also tried to resolve the issue with customer service multiple times. Also absolutely no help. If you have the option, choose literally ANY other cable/wifi company. I would give negative stars if I could.

I wish I could give negative rating. Worst service provider I have ever came across. Optimum overcharges every time. The customer service are not capable of solving those overly charged bills. Also despite customer service assuring that the next bill will be credited with the overcharged amount, they never fulfill that promise. Highly unprofessional and fake assurances

The service provided is solid and well priced. That being said the service definitely varies by area. As far as customer service... it is the probably the worst. Sub-contractors that provide zero installation help do the modem install. After that you have to buy a router and configure it yourself. Also, download an app to do it and jump through a bunch of hoops. Calling customer support is even worse. They force you to use an automated line in order to make a payment after cancelling. If the broken automated line doesn't work (which it doesn't) then you get transferred back to a person to pay an extra $10 for talking to a human. The people take forever to reply making you feel like you are on a scam call. The service was nice, but to simply cancel and pay them for the unreturned modem was torture.

After the promotion expires the prices go way too high, When I was a customer nobody offered me anything better in order for me to stay with this company, I got a 500 dollars bills and I called to see if I can pay 250 now and 250 later and the automatic service hanged up the call. I spoke to a representative and he was trying to helped me but he couldn’t give me the option to make a payment arrangement. 2 months before I canceled the services, I asked for an internet upgrade and they sent me a Tech to install the router but they didn’t tell me I was going to be charged for that. You can’t go and charged your customers without telling them. you can’t expect a customer to stay with you if you don’t offer something better in order to stay. And then the answer for this review is gonna say. I’m sorry for the inconvenience please call such and such number in order to assist you and at the end, you call and nobody help you. One star is even too much for this company.

Go to the area you receive your equipment from . Call and Make sure you get a receipt. There are multiple subcontractors that work there so unless you have proof you will be billed . I do not work for them .

Google 'Optimum Store Randolph' for hours. They limit the number of people allowed so be prepared to wait outside. I was there a couple weeks ago and waited about 10 minutes to get in. I was exchanging boxes.

YZF Guy | May 7, 2021

Bring it to cablevision and they will replace it.

I have no cable wifi or phone. I tried rebooting. It's not working. There are no trucks in the neighbor hood. How do I know whats going on? We have electricity. Customer service automation keeps hanging up on me when it attempts to transfer.

Gina Orinick | May 6, 2021
Rick Easterling | May 7, 2021

After my power came back on I tried rebooting myself and didn't realize that cable was also out. My service finally came back but I'm guessing yours is still out. I would try all their numbers until you can get someone to at least call you back.

when will service be restored

ioi | May 6, 2021
Jeff Davenport | May 7, 2021

It all depends. I don't work for Optimum but, was at their store and they said 48 to 72 hrs thats after; either Verizon or JCP&L are able to restore power first. Verizon owns allot of the telephone poles in the area.

How many years should you update your box? Does it really matter?

Ray | May 7, 2018
V Marotto | May 8, 2018

The only real difference is in the new whole house dvr. If you have the old hard drive based dvr and want to upgrade you need a new box. Otherwise there is, I believe, nothing different.
